Abstract
We derive sufficient conditions for controllability and necessary conditions for minimum in nonsmooth optimal control problems defined by differential or functional-integral equations with isoperimetric and unilateral restrictions. We consider the cases when the controls are relaxed or chosen fromabundant sets of original (ordinary) controls (which include most, or all, of the control sets studied in the literature). We prove that, if there exist optimal strictly original controls (that is, controls that are optimal in an abundant set but not among relaxed controls), then the problem admits abnormal extremals. We also study the abnormality of the optimal strictly original controls themselves.
